TomkinsDavis is committed to protecting your privacy and handling your personal data responsibly. This policy explains what personal information we collect, why we collect it, how we use it, and what rights you have in relation to it.

All third parties we work with are required to handle your data securely and in accordance with UK data protection law.

Opting out of marketing will not affect any communications we need to send you in connection with an active tenancy or service.
